    Make

    I just became aware of this magazine. It is devoted to gadget construction projects. Get a load of the "Kids Walker". hahaha ... there are so many politically incorrect things about this thing that it would last about 5 minutes under threat of all of the law suites ... at least in the US.:(

    How many of you run an OC'd PC?

    I have 4 machines, all OC-ed as much as possible & they are on 24X7 & often number crunching 24X7 ... if I am lucky enough to have that much business.:rolleyes:

    USB 3.0: Shaking Up the Status Quo

    Like Rob is saying, if you have a problem this is just another question mark about whether it is the hardware, software, or the loose nut on the keyboard.:confused:

    USB 3.0: Shaking Up the Status Quo

    It sometimes takes me a couple of weeks to get thru all my trade pubs ... paper or e-versions. I just noticed this article in MPD. Of interest is the discussion about compatibility issues with the way some manufacturers have/are implementing the required spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) and...

    In need of a little assistance.

    I would think about how to test Tharic-Nar's idea 1st ... but which ever is easier including trying a video card (ANY video card) from said local source. I focused on PSU because of your admition about it possibly not being up to par for the video card. AND, my own most unfortunate series of...

    In need of a little assistance.

    Check the voltages of the power supply. If you don't have a means to accomplish that get another PSU from a nearby Best Buy (or similar) ... nearby so that you can take it back after done.:D

    Project Gutenberg

    I have wondered if any or are all of the ebook readers compatible with Project Gutenberg eBooks? I have also thought that I *might* be interested in an ebook reader if my tech magazines were easily available on them ... automagically would be great. So maybe my question is; are all ebook...

    Blu-ray: Dogged by delays, will it still have its day?

    I almost posted this article here yesterday... then got distracted. I don't know if all of these "debunked" myths are accurate, but the ones I do know to be nonsense are accurate. Specifically the expensive cables such as HDMI. I design and electrically analyze connectors & cables like HDMI...

    Problematic pestilence.

    What DarkStar says may be the case. I have a new "P5Q SE Plus" m/b sitting to the side waiting to replace a failed earlier version labeled just "P5Q". I have had a bad bit of luck with failing power supplies taking out m/bs over the past 3 years. That's what I get for buying cheap PSUs, I...

    Problematic pestilence.

    Is the original keyboard USB? Are the keyboards you tried all USB? I'll guess not, but just in case try one that isn't. ... and thinking ...

    XFX ATI Radeon™ HD 5770 single slot graphics card

    I guess I feel like goofing off today as I am reading anything not related to work. I received an email from XFX about this. I assume because I might have registered my cards. I am interested in hearing about reviews of this card with the adjacent slots also populated with this card...

    Home Depot’s $20 EcoSmart LED light: What’s inside?

    The thoroughness of the dissection is as interesting as the topic. Do note some of the reader comments; informative and humorous as usual. I am particularly interested in the Canadian manufacturer's comments & who that might be? There is also a comment about RFI. I think I'll look into that a...

    Toshiba Claims Hard-drive Breakthrough

    Toshiba's sample media is still in the prototype stage, but is built at a density equivalent to 2.5 terabits per square inch. Contrast that with Toshiba's current highest capacity drive today, which is based on existing technology and has a density of 541 gigabits per square inch or about one...

    Chrome Android Tablet

    Ok. So we all know what this really means, but why do I have visions of or imagine a SNL skit of a shiny robotic pill you take & will clean your ... uh ... well, automatically do the paper work for you when it is excreted? Sort of a sci-fi bidet, which also reminds me of another Saturday Night...

    A Hot Place to be in One Word: Analytics

    I first thought that Analytics was just some invented term that this guy came up with. A google for "analytics" does lead to a wikipedia definition which seems in line. In a way it is just statistical analysis, but he is using it in a very general term. Engineers use it to try to figure out...

    Dog Eat Toe

    I saw this today ... or was it yesterday .. whatever, the thought makes me ill & I decided not to put it up here myself. So-o-o-oooo, I guess the good part is because the dog ate the toe; therefore causing the *owner* to realize that there is a real problem .. is the good thing. I am still...

    Sidebar gadget that I like to use

    Does it log the data to a file? Although a screen capture for a period time would possibly be adequate. Can you control the width/time of the logging window as shown in your screen shot? I will be making a modification to my cooling system of which similar modifications have shown several...
